The Montréal Victoire announced on June 23, 2026 that forward Emma Maltais has signed a two‑year contract with the defending champions of the Professional Women’s Hockey League. The addition comes as the team looks to reinforce its roster ahead of the upcoming season.
Maltais arrives in Montreal after completing three seasons with the Sceptres, where she established herself as a consistent forward. During her tenure with the Sceptres, she contributed to the club’s offensive efforts and gained experience at the professional level.
The two‑year agreement marks Maltais’ first contract with the Victoire, who captured the league title last season. By signing the forward, the Victoire add depth to their attacking lines and retain a player with proven experience in the league.
As reigning PWHL champions, the Victoire have been active in shaping a roster capable of defending their crown. The acquisition of Maltais follows their strategy of integrating players who have demonstrated durability and performance over multiple seasons.
The contract will keep Maltais in Montreal through the 2027 season, providing the team with continuity at the forward position as they prepare for another campaign in the Professional Women’s Hockey League.
